City council OKs clean-up millage, ordinance to rezone
The Ionia City Council unanimously approved the second reading and adoption of two ordinances at its meeting Tuesday night after public hearings on the matters drew no public comment. Both ordinances, presented to council in December, will become effective Sunday.
Ordinance No. 496 authorizes the city to continue a levy of up to 2 mills for environmental response and clean-up.
The city began levying a clean-up millage in 2006 under Ordinance 440 to offset escalating clean-up costs of the Cleveland Street landfill, and decreasing state funding to offset these costs. The new ordinance expands the purposes for which the money can be used, allowing for the funds to cover costs "associated with the investigation, acquisition, clean-up and remediation of the properties within the city" – in particular, properties that may be acquired in the future under the city's recently approved master plan.
The millage will continue to be set annually by city council as it prepares its annual budget.
The other ordinance approved at the council meeting was Ordinance No. 497, which rezones the property at 524 W. Main St. from R-1 – Single Family Residential to O – Office.
The prospective buyer of the property, Beverly Anderson, made the request for the zoning change so she could convert the home to a counseling office. The planning commission approved the site plan for the property and the Zoning Board of Appeals granted two site-plan related variances in December.
Council member Gordon Kelley, who represents the First Ward and lives on Main Street, said neighbors had some concerns about who would be using Anderson's office.
"We're bringing in a business to a residential district," Kelley said. "We would like to know who these clientèle are."
Anderson explained she and the four other counselors work primarily with children, families, and women who have been abused. Counselors provide trauma work, and do some drug or alcohol assessments and offer some treatment for that, Anderson said.
"We work more with the victims than the perpetrators," she said.
After more discussion, which was joined by neighbors in the audience who asked questions regarding the safety of their children, the ordinance was approved.
Mayor Dan Balice said the neighbors had "very legitimate concerns.
"I don't blame your wanting to know what this proposal is," he said. "That's a nice block. We don't want to see it go to seed."
In other business, the city council approved a resolution approving supplements to contracts for refunding 2004 and 2005 utility bonds and requesting the issuance of new bonds to fund a number of street improvements to take place in the summers of 2013 and 2014. The action will result in an anticipated savings of $90,000, said City Manager Jason Eppler.
Council approved the introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 498, which would create a Parks and Recreation Commission to advise the city council, city manager and parks and recreation director.
"Parks and rec programs have been phenomenal," said Council Member Ted Paton of the First Ward. "Anything we can do to support you guys, I'm all for it."
Council also approved a second round of adjustments to the fiscal year 2012-2013 city budget, referred to by Robin Marhofer, director of finance/treasurer, as "a tune-up"; accepted the low bid of $11,900 by Franklin Holwerda Company to install an upper bar screen replacement at the wastewater treatment plant; and approved an application for financial assistance for Dial-A-Ride through the State of Michigan.

Bing Crosby's kids recall dad's duet with Bowie
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – David Bowie's duet with Bing Crosby on the entertainer's 1977 Christmas television special left an indelible impression on Crosby's teenage children.
Harry, Mary and Nathaniel Crosby were on set when Bowie arrived to tape his appearance. The mash-up between the cardigan-clad singer known for "White Christmas" and the glam rocker who was in his Ziggy Stardust phase required some last-minute reworking of "The Little Drummer Boy."
The result was a new melody and lyrics called "Peace on Earth." The duet remains a holiday staple and a curiosity. Bowie was 30 and Crosby was 73 at the time. Crosby died of a heart attack a month after the taping in September 1977.
Mary Crosby remembered Bowie arriving on set.
"The doors opened and David walked in with his wife. They were both wearing full-length mink coats, they have matching full makeup and their hair was bright red," she told the summer TV critics' tour Wednesday. "We were thinking, 'Oh my god.'"
Nathaniel Crosby added, "It almost didn't happen. I think the producers told him to take the lipstick off and take the earring out. It was just incredible to see the contrast."
Watching in the wings, the Crosby kids noticed a transformation.
"They sat at the piano and David was a little nervous," Mary Crosby recalled. "Dad realized David was this amazing musician, and David realized Dad was an amazing musician. You could see them both collectively relax and then magic was made."
The Crosby siblings — now all in their 50s — and their 80-year-old mother, Kathryn, made a rare public appearance together last week to discuss the American Masters episode, "Bing Crosby Rediscovered," airing Dec. 2 on PBS.

History House in Portland is the place to go to search for your ancestors who lived or arrived in the harbour town. Located in the former Portland Town Hall, History House offers research facilities and a small museum.
The museum has many reminders of Portland's early history, in particular, the Henty family.
It is not easy taking a photo of a long plough in a narrow room with a fairly ordinary camera, but I had to give it a go as this in the one and only Henty plough. While it is famous for it being the first plough used in Victoria, its journey since those early days is interesting.
Maybe this picture does the plough more justice than my own.
This article from the Portland Guardian of 18 November 1935 described what happened to the plough after it left the Henty's possession
Hugh Lennon, who had the plough on display at his factory in Spotswood, was the manufacturer of the Lennon plough. This was the plough of choice for ggg grandfather James Harman in local ploughing matches. It was also the plough of choice for the Kelly gang when making armour. The plough eventually returned to Portland in 1970.
The is a model of the house occupied by Joseph Henry Porter and his wife, Sarah Herbertson, in Gawler Street, Portland. Joseph constructed the model and Sarah furnished it. I like the detail, even down to pickets missing off the fence. Both Joseph and Sarah are part of the Western District Families Pioneer Obituary Index. Joseph's obituary mentioned his fine craftmanship.
While this isn't the best photo, I had to share it. It depicts the meeting of Major Thomas Mitchell and the Henty brothers, a significant time in the history of the Western District. You can read more about this chance meeting in the post "Major Mitchell Reaches Portland Bay".
Mary McKillop spent some time in Portland and an exhibit commemorates this, complete with the spires from the original Roman Catholic church in Portland.
The Portland Rocket Shed is next to History House. The shed was built in 1886 by George Sedgewick who was the gg grandfather of Ann, a follower of this blog. Fully restored, the shed has a display inside which includes a rocket launcher used to fire ropes to boats in distress.
For more photos, better than my own, check out ABC South West Victoria's report on History House's renovation in 2010 http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2010/02/17/2822431.htm. There was also a report at the time of Mary MacKillop's canonization http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2010/10/12/3035824.htm

NEW YORK (AP) — Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die prematurely from their unhealthy habits?
Annual health care costs are roughly $96 billion for smokers and $147 billion for the obese, the government says. These costs accompany sometimes heroic attempts to prolong lives, including surgery, chemotherapy and other measures.
But despite these rescue attempts, smokers tend to die 10 years earlier on average, and the obese die five to 12 years prematurely, according to various researchers" estimates.
And attempts to curb smoking and unhealthy eating frequently lead to backlash: Witness the current legal tussle over New York City"s first-of-its-kind limits on the size of sugary beverages and the vicious fight last year in California over a ballot proposal to add a $1-per-pack cigarette tax, which was ultimately defeated.
"This is my life. I should be able to do what I want," said Sebastian Lopez, a college student from Queens, speaking last September when the New York City Board of Health approved the soda size rules.
Critics also contend that tobacco- and calorie-control measures place a disproportionately heavy burden on poor people. That"s because they:
* Smoke more than the rich, and have higher obesity rates.
* Have less money so sales taxes hit them harder. One study last year found poor, nicotine-dependent smokers in New York — a state with very high cigarette taxes — spent as much as a quarter of their entire income on smokes.
* Are less likely to have a car to shop elsewhere if the corner bodega or convenience store stops stocking their vices.
Critics call these approaches unfair, and believe they have only a marginal effect.
"Ultimately these things are weak tea," said Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a physician and fellow at the right-of-center think tank, the American Enterprise Institute.
Gottlieb"s view is debatable. There are plenty of public health researchers that can show smoking control measures have brought down smoking rates and who will argue that smoking taxes are not regressive so long as money is earmarked for programs that help poor people quit smoking.
And debate they will. There always seems to be a fight whenever this kind of public health legislation comes up. And it"s a fight that can go in all sorts of directions. For example, some studies even suggest that because smokers and obese people die sooner, they may actually cost society less than healthy people who live much longer and develop chronic conditions like Alzheimer"s disease.
So let"s return to the original question: Why provoke a backlash? If 1 in 5 U.S. adults smoke, and 1 in 3 are obese, why not just get off their backs and let them go on with their (probably shortened) lives?
Because it"s not just about them, say some health economists, bioethicists and public health researchers.
"Your freedom is likely to be someone else"s harm," said Daniel Callahan, senior research scholar at a bioethics think-tank, the Hastings Center.
Smoking has the most obvious impact. Studies have increasingly shown harm to nonsmokers who are unlucky enough to work or live around heavy smokers. And several studies have shown heart attacks and asthma attack rates fell in counties or cities that adopted big smoking bans.
"When you ban smoking in public places, you"re protecting everyone"s health, including and especially the nonsmoker," said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago"s School of Public Health.
It can be harder to make the same argument about soda-size restrictions or other legislative attempts to discourage excessive calorie consumption, Olshansky added.
"When you eat yourself to death, you"re pretty much just harming yourself," he said.
But that viewpoint doesn"t factor in the burden to everyone else of paying for the diabetes care, heart surgeries and other medical expenses incurred by obese people, noted John Cawley, a health economist at Cornell University.
"If I"m obese, the health care costs are not totally borne by me. They"re borne by other people in my health insurance plan and — when I"m older — by Medicare," Cawley said.
From an economist"s perspective, there would be less reason to grouse about unhealthy behaviors by smokers, obese people, motorcycle riders who eschew helmets and other health sinners if they agreed to pay the financial price for their choices.
That"s the rationale for a provision in the Affordable Care Act — "Obamacare" to its detractors — that starting next year allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of premiums.
The new law doesn"t allow insurers to charge more for people who are overweight, however.
It"s tricky to play the insurance game with overweight people, because science is still sorting things out. While obesity is clearly linked with serious health problems and early death, the evidence is not as clear about people who are just overweight.
That said, public health officials shouldn"t shy away from tough anti-obesity efforts, said Callahan, the bioethicist. Callahan caused a public stir this week with a paper that called for a more aggressive public health campaign that tries to shame and stigmatize overeaters the way past public health campaigns have shamed and stigmatized smokers.
National obesity rates are essentially static, and public health campaigns that gently try to educate people about the benefits of exercise and healthy eating just aren"t working, Callahan argued. We need to get obese people to change their behavior. If they are angry or hurt by it, so be it, he said.
"Emotions are what really count in this world," he said.

Built-in webcams are becoming more and more common in computers these days, and in turn, they are becoming more and more of a liability. A Wyoming couple is now accusing national rent-to-own chain Aaron's Inc. of spying on them at home using their rented computer's webcam without their knowledge. Aaron's also allegedly used a keylogger and took regular screenshots of the couple's activities on the machine, leading the couple to file a class-action lawsuit in the US District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
According to the complaint filed on Tuesday, Aaron's has been using a product called "PC Rental Agent" on its rent-to-own machines since at least 2007 in order to "surreptitiously access, monitor, intercept, and/or transmit electronic communications" made by Aaron's customers. Created by a company called DesignerWare, PC Rental Agent is advertised as a way to keep track of rent-to-own computers and lock out customers who fail to pay. According to the lawsuit, the product was sold to Aaron's under the guise that it was undetectable by users, and Aaron's apparently conceals the fact that it has the ability to monitor customers' activity when marketing its services.
Crystal and Brian Byrd found this out the hard way in 2010 when they rented a Dell Inspiron laptop from Aaron's, which they paid off in full in October of 2010—one month ahead of schedule. Aaron's didn't record the last payment correctly, however, leading an Aaron's store manager to show up at the Byrd home in December in order to repossess the computer. The store manager then produced a photo of Brian Byrd using the machine, taken with the Inspiron's webcam, as apparent "proof" that the Byrds were still using the computer.
The Byrds ended up calling the police, and an investigation later concluded that Aaron's "routinely installed the PC Rental Agent" on all of Aaron's rent-to-own computers. Law enforcement confirmed that the product indeed permitted the company to routinely take webcam photos, screenshots, and log the keystrokes of its customers without their knowledge or consent.
It's unclear how many other photos Aaron's might have collected on the family, but Brian Byrd told the Associated Press that he was concerned about the content of photos that were potentially taken of his wife and child.
"Crystal gets online before she gets a shower and checks her grades. Who knows? They could print that stuff off there and take it home with them," Byrd told the AP. "I've got a 5-year-old boy who runs around all day and sometimes he gets out of the tub running around for 20, 30 seconds while we're on the computer. What if they took a picture of that? I wouldn't want that kind of garbage floating around out there."
The Byrds' situation is eerily reminiscent of one that occurred last year in the Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania. At that time, some parents discovered that the school district had used remote software to activate the built-in webcams on the students' school-issued computers in order to check up on them at home, while the district insisted that its "spying" policy only applied to laptops that were reported stolen. The district ended up settling two lawsuits for a total of $610,000, despite apparent e-mail evidence that the IT staff responsible for monitoring the laptops regularly viewed the students' photos for entertainment.
According to Brian Byrd, the computer in question is still in police custody as evidence, and no one from Aaron's has yet commented publicly on the case. However, the Byrds are hoping to get the suit certified as a class action so that other customers who might have been affected can get in on the lawsuit—after all, Aaron's claims to have more than 1,500 stores in the US and Canada alone, and there are bound to be others who are only now discovering that they don't have as much privacy at home as they thought.

Puppy drives car into Massachusetts pond
CANTON, Mass. - After going for a walk, a German shepherd puppy owned by a Massachusetts man decided to go for a drive - straight into a pond.
John Costello tells WFXT-TV that his 12-week-old puppy, Rosie, was so excited Sunday after going for a walk at Bolivar Pond in Canton that she jumped in his running car, hit the gear stick and shifted into drive, before falling onto the gas pedal and sending the car careening into the water.
A couple of passers-by saw the commotion and helped Costello rescue Rosie. Nobody was injured, but Costello says the Dodge Neon is a total loss.
The 911 call surprised even police. Officer Robert Quirk says he has never heard of a dog driving into a pond.

François Payard is a third generation pâtissier (French pastry chef), born in Nice (France), he lives and works in New York since 1990. His pattisseries are in such varied locales as New York, Las Vegas, Brasil, Japan and Korea, he's authored three books – all on chocolate desserts and more. In 1995 he earned a James Beard Association "Pastry Chef of the Year" award, honoring him for his unique pastry designs and high attention to flavor.
In his Chocolate Epiphany – Exceptional Cookies, Cakes and Confections for Everyone, published in 2008, he has many delightful recipes that can be made kosher with hardly a change. It is hard to go through the book without salivating as one looks at the superb photography by Rogerio Volcan, or as one reads the recipes and envisions the results.
Here is one, which I can't wait to try:
Flourless Milk Chocolate Cake with Grapefruit and Hazelnuts
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Candied Grapefruit
- 1 grapefruit, scrubbed thoroughly
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- Cut the grapefruit into quarters. Remove the pulp and as much of the white pith as possible. Place the peels in a medium saucepan , fill it with water and bring to a boil. Drain the water, then fill the pot with fresh water and bring to a boil again . Repeat this this process a third time. Drain the water completely.
- Combine the peels, granulated sugar, and corn syrup with 1/2 cup water in the saucepan, and place over low heat. Simmer for about 1 hour, until the peels become slightly translucent. Remove from the heat, and let them seat in the syrup until cool. You can keep the the peels in the syrup, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Darin and and finely chop 1/2 cup of the peel to add to the cake batter.
Milk Chocolate Cake
- Vegetable cooking spray, for the pan
- 4 1/2 oz milk chocolate chopped
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup hazelnut flour or finely ground blanched hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 F. Spray the sides and bottom of a round 9-inch cake pan with vegetable cooking spray. Cut a 9-inch round piece of parchment paper and place it at the bottom of the pan.
- Fill a medium pot one-third full with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl that will fit snuggly on top of the pot but not touch the water. Reduce the heat to low and place in the bowl over the pot. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Place the eggs, egg yolks, and brown sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until the mixture turns a pale yellow and increases in volume. With a silicone spatula, fold in the chocolate until it is well incorporated . Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for about 40 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the sides slightly pull back from the edges of the pan.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife along the sides of the cake to release it from pan, unmold the cake, and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. You can make the cake 1 or 2 days ahead. Keep it tightly wrapped in a cool, dry environment.
Milk Chocolate Sauce
- 1 lb milk chocolate chopped
- 2 cups whole milk
Make the Milk Chocolate Sauce
- Put the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour the milk over the chocolate and let the heat melt the chocolate. Stir gently, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Let it cool until it is lukewarm or at room temperature. You can make the sauce up to 3 days ahead. Keep it covered and refrigerated , and let it come back to room temperature before serving.
Serve the Cake – Cut the cake into slices and serve with the chocolate sauce.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

Wednesday Morning Political Mix — Sept. 25, 2013
Evan Vucci/AP
It's Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013, which puts us five days away from a possible federal-government shutdown that would begin Oct. 1 if Congress fails to pass a stop-gap spending bill.
So the drama in the Senate over the spending bill leads the day's interesting political items and features Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. At this writing, Cruz was in the last gasps of an anti-Obamacare talkathon. That's where we start:
- If you got a good night's sleep, you have at least that over Sen. Cruz. He spoke through the night on the Senate floor as he maintained an anti-Obamacare marathon floor speech (technically not a filibuster since he wasn't delaying a Senate vote on a must-pass spending bill to keep the federal government from shutting down next week.) Grasping for rhetorical filler at times, he even worked in Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" though somehow failed to get around to Tupac Shakur's "All Eyez On Me."
- Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican known for his bluntness, called Cruz "a fraud," reports The New York Times's Jim Dwyer. King accused the senator of misleading many Republican voters into believing the Affordable Care Act could be de-funded if only other Republicans would support the Texan. King has presidential ambitions, as does, presumably Cruz.
- Congressional Democrats see opportunity for political gains in what they see as Republican overreach in risking a government shutdown next week over Obamacare, Zachary A. Goldfarb writes in the Washington Post. Not only is Democratic confidence that it's likelier they will hold on to the Senate increasing, some are even suggesting Republicans are unwittingly setting the table for Democrats to retake the House — which almost no Congress watcher thinks will happen.
- The battle royal of ten candidates to succeed Thomas Menino as Boston's next mayor was whittled down to two contenders writes Jim O'Sullivan and Patrick D. Rosso of the Boston Globe. Facing each other in a runoff in November will be Massachusetts state representative Martin Walsh (18.47 percent) and city councilor John Connolly (17.22 percent), who topped the field. Coming in third was C. Charlotte Golar (13.77 percent) who had hoped to become Boston's first woman and African American mayor.
- A runoff in a Republican primary for Alabama's 1st Congressional District seat, a race our Adam Wollner paid attention to here at "It's All Politics" — in which a hatred of Obamacare has been an animating force — will pit mainstream conservative Bradley Byrne against Tea Party conservative Dean Young. Young also is the preferred candidate of the religious conservatives, writes George Talbot of the Alabama Media Group.
- The hunters become the hunted, sort of, in California where paparazzi who take pictures not just of celebrities but of the children of the rich and famous will now be guilty of a misdemeanor for their snaps of the kids. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a new law that makes such photos illegal, writes Patrick McGreevy and Melanie Mason in the Los Angeles Times. Celebrities had lobbied for the law.

Editor's Note: Have a Pacers-related question for Mark? Want to be featured in his mailbag column? Send your questions to Mark at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tyler Hansbrough, normally as stone-faced as the Statue of Liberty after games regardless of outcome, couldn't contain himself.
"This is hilarious to me," he said, following the Pacers' 96-81 win over Cleveland at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
"Why's that?" he was asked.
"Nothing," Hansbrough said. "I just think it's funny. He hasn't had an interview postgame for a long time. Now me and Ben get on the court and he's getting interviewed more over there than David West, who's an All-Star."
It was true. Tyler's younger brother, Ben, was around the corner talking into a sudden and steady stream of microphones inquiring about the first meaningful game of his NBA career. His numbers don't jump off the box score—six points, one assist, two steals, no turnovers—but those who saw it had to be impressed. Ben not only brought some life to the second unit and looked every bit an NBA point guard while doing so, he brought out the best in Tyler, who has struggled to this point of the season.
Coach Frank Vogel's decision to drop D.J. Augustin from the playing rotation and go with the rookie free agent was made easy by Ben Hansbrough's inspired play in practice and Augustin's uninspired play in games, so it doesn't qualify as prescient. But it does qualify as consequential. It wasn't that obvious by numerical measurement in Wednesday's victory because the bench was outscored 35-21, but it did show in less tangible ways.
Like tweets. Afterward, Paul George, who had his fifth straight strong outing with 27 points, launched the following warning into cyberspace: "DON'T mess with the Hansbroughs!"
It showed in leadership, too. The rookie point guard knew where everybody was supposed to be, moved the ball quickly, played physical defense and was even shouting instructions from the end of the bench when he wasn't in the game.
"He wasn't perfect, but he definitely provided a spark," Vogel said. "That unit had great defensive energy and he's a guy who'll hit a guy in the mouth. That's what he brings to the table."
He also seemed to provide Tyler with a flashback to the three years they started together on their high school team in Poplar Bluff, Mo. That was most evident in the fourth quarter, when Ben took an inadvertent elbow in the neck from Cavs forward Tristan Thompson and hit the floor. Tyler's brotherly instincts kicked in and he had to be restrained to the point that Ben had to calm him down. Ben hit one of the two free throws awarded from the Flagrant 1 foul. On the Pacers' next possession, a still-revved Tyler drove to the basket from the left side as if he were desperately hoping someone would hit him. Samardo Samuels did him the favor and was called for a foul.
One can only imagine what it must have been like in the Hansbrough household when Ben, Tyler and their older brother Greg were of the roughhousing age. What slab of drywall would stand a chance against their headbanging antics? But while Tyler is usually stoic and serious-minded, Ben is more outgoing and a more natural leader. That could pay huge dividends for Tyler, who has been shooting less than 40 percent from the field.
Tyler finished with seven points and three rebounds, again nothing worthy of a game ball, but he seemed revitalized. He even hit a mid-range jumper for a change—on an assist from Ben. Tyler had passed up a jumper early in the second period. Ben told him to trust his shot. Moments later, Tyler hit a 19-footer. On the next possession, Ben hit his first shot attempt of the game, a three-pointer from the right corner in front of the Pacers bench.
"Sometimes we know how to push each other's buttons and light a fire under each other," Ben said. "If I'm playing soft, or not playing to my potential, he better tell me. Because I know I'll tell him.
"I understand Tyler's game better than anybody. We're good for each other."
Said Tyler: "I know his tendencies. I know what he's thinking and what he's going to do. The only surprising thing is that we're on the same team together. I always had confidence he could play at this level, but it's a little shocking that we're on the same team."
There's a story behind that.
Ben was the Big East Player of the Year as a senior at Notre Dame and a second-team All-American. He seemed destined to be drafted, but tore tendons in his left ankle while working out at Park Tudor High School with coach Ed Schilling and some of his players a couple of weeks before the NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago. One of the Park Tudor players not named Yogi Ferrell got under Hansbrough as he went up for a jump shot and by the time he landed his draft dream was over.
Undrafted, Hansbrough signed to play with a team in Germany. Still slowed by his injury, he barely played and was released. He then signed with a team in Slovenia, but left that team. His NBA future didn't look any brighter when he averaged just six points for the Pacers' summer league team, but what happened the rest of the summer saved his career.
He spent time again with Schilling and other area college players at the Trader's Point Academy over the summer, where former Pacers trainer David Craig helped alleviate some of the pain in his ankle, but a chance meeting with Brandon Kuhn, the basketball trainer at Western Kentucky, was the breakthrough.
Hansbrough was on campus to visit his father, and went to the gym to visit an assistant coach who he had known at his original collegiate stop, Mississippi State. Kuhn approached him and told him he didn't look to be in very good condition. He wasn't, weighing 215 pounds at the time, but Hansbrough was taken aback by the stranger's bold assessment.
"All right, you want to work me out?" Hansbrough asked.
"Be here tomorrow at 9 a.m." Kuhn said.
Kuhn put Hansbrough through the most difficult workouts of his life. Part of the regimen included exercises in sand pits in 100-degree weather to strengthen his damaged ankle.
"He just murdered me," Hansbrough recalled. "I'd have to take the rest of the day off. I wanted to go in the gym and get shots up but I couldn't do it. I was in the best shape I'd been in since my senior year at Notre Dame."
It was widely assumed that Hansbrough was invited to Pacers training camp as a formality, maybe even a favor to Tyler. He'd be another warm body for camp and then dispatched to the Development League or overseas. What people didn't know was that he was 20 pounds lighter than in the summer league, and played with a healthy ankle again. Augustin opened the door for him with his insufficient play, and Hansbrough jumped through it. The updated impression is that he's going to cling to the backup spot for the rest of the season, which puts a cloud over Augustin's future. Augustin is working on a one-year contract, and could be a valuable trade chip given his solid play the past two seasons in Charlotte.
That's projecting, though. Reflecting, Ben Hansbrough has made a habit of proving people wrong. He had only two scholarship offers coming out of high school, from Mississippi State and Southern Illinois. The fact he accepted Mississippi State's offer after his junior season cooled the interest of recruiters, but regardless he was regarded as a mid-major player. He played two seasons at Mississippi State and then transferred to Notre Dame, where he proved he could play at the highest level.
The lightly recruited and undrafted younger brother has always been eager to prove himself. Now he's got another chance.
"I kind of like being overlooked," he said. "I try to look on the bright side. I use that as a way to drive myself. I play against some of these guys who were drafted and I have to go out and prove myself. It gives me a chip on my shoulder."

'Boston Strong' in Fenway as Sox clinch Series title
BOSTONThere hasn't been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.
Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.
David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseball's bearded wonders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.
Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha.
John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2/3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.
With fans roaring on every pitch and cameras flashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpenter for the final out. The Japanese pitcher jumped into the arms of catcher David Ross while Red Sox players rushed from the dugout and bullpen as the Boston theme "Dirty Water" played on the public-address system.
And the Red Sox didn't have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth's team back in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old ballpark, oldest in the majors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a celebration 95 years in the making.
There wasn't the cowboy-up comeback charm of "The Idiots" from 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought. There wasn't that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that swept Colorado.
This time, they were Boston Strong – playing for a city shaken by the marathon bombings in April.
After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassing revelations of a chicken-and-beer clubhouse culture that contributed to the ouster of manager Terry Francona, and the daily tumult of Bobby Valentine's one-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.
Just like the long whiskers on the players' faces, starting with Jonny Gomes' scruffy spring training beard.
Across the Northeast, from Connecticut's Housatonic River up to the Aroostook in Maine, Boston's eighth championship will be remembered for all the beard-yanking bonding.
Ortiz, the only player remaining from the 2004 champs, had a Ruthian World Series. He batted .688 (11 for 16) with two homers, six RBIs and eight walks – including four in the finale – for a .760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances.
Even slumping Stephen Drew delivered a big hit in Game 6, sending Wacha's first pitch of the fourth into the right-center bullpen.
By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoli and Victorino had made it 6-0, and the Red Sox were on their way.
The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, one heavy with the memory of the events that unfolded on Patriots Day, when three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox wore "Boston Strong" logos on their left sleeves and erected a large emblem on the Green Monster as a constant reminder.
A "B Strong" logo was mowed into center-field grass at Fenway.
Among the players blamed for the indifferent culture at the end of the Francona years, Lackey took the mound two days shy of the second anniversary of his elbow surgery and got his first Series win since the 2002 clincher. He pitched shutout ball into the seventh, when Carlos Beltran's RBI single ended the Cardinals' slump with runners in scoring position at 0 for 14.
Junichi Tazawa came in with the bases loaded and retired Allen Craig on an inning-ending grounder to first. Brandon Workman followed in the eighth and Uehara finished.
St. Louis had been seeking its second title in three seasons, but the Cardinals sputtered. Symbolic of the team's struggles, reliever Trevor Rosenthal tripped while throwing a pitch to Ortiz in the eighth, balking Dustin Pedroia to second.
Pedroia had brought back memories of Carlton Fisk's 1975 Game 6-winning home run, sending a first-inning drive about 10 feet foul of the Green Monster foul pole – and waving his left arm once to try to urge the ball fair as he came out of the batter's box.
Lackey escaped a two-on, none-out jam in the second when he retired Matt Adams and David Freese on flyouts and, after a wild pitch, struck out Jon Jay.
Boston wasted a similar threat in the bottom half, then went ahead on the third.
Jacoby Ellsbury singled leading off and went to second on Pedroia's grounder. Ortiz was intentionally walked, Napoli struck out and Gomes was hit above the left elbow with a pitch, loading the bases. Victorino, wearing red, white and blue spikes with an American flag motif, had been 0 for 10 in the Series and missed the previous two games with a bad back.
Dropped from second to sixth in the batting order, he took two balls and a called strike, then turned on a 93 mph fastball and sent it high off the Green Monster, the 37-foot-high wall in left.
